The program, Gridiron & Steel, tells the story of the rise of football in Pennsylvania, the emergence of the City of Pittsburgh on the national scene, and how each supported the other through good times and bad.

Produced and directed by Jeff Sewald, a Pittsburgh native and University of Pittsburgh graduate, Gridiron & Steel features a cross section of regional personalities, including former Steelers greats Andy Russell, Mel Blount, Franco Harris and Jack Ham, Steelers owner Dan Rooney and broadcaster Myron Cope.
